RELOCATION OF STATUES OF SHIVAJI & AMBEDKAR, AMONG OTHERS, CRITICISED BY CONGRESS!

NEW DELHI, June 6, 2024 (TBINN)

Statues of Mahatma Gandhi, B.R. Ambedkar and Chhatrapati Shivaji among others have been relocated within Parliament premises as part of a landscaping exercise, a move sharply criticised by the Congress which said they have been moved from their places of prominence in front of Parliament House.

The statues, including those of tribal leader Birsa Munda and Maharana Pratap, are now in a lawn between the old Parliament building and the Parliament library.

Reacting to the development, Congress’ general secretary Jairam Ramesh said on X, “Statues of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Mahatma Gandhi and Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar have just been removed from their places of prominence in front of the Parliament House. This is atrocious.”
